Check for Terminations and Exclusions

The OMIG may sanction some
providers by excluding them from participating in the Medicaid
program. These providers are excluded from offering services to
Medicaid enrollees and also cannot be paid with Medicaid dollars.
Prior to adding new staff members, employers should check to see
if prospective employees have been excluded from Medicaid. To
make it easier to perform such a check, OMIG set up a dedicated service to check the status of any exclusion.

Start a Self Disclosure

Anytime a health care organization discovers that it was paid more than it was due, this should be reported to OMIG. Our Self-Disclosure section provides information for health care organizations to complete the recently revamped self-disclosure process.

Our mission is to enhance the integrity of the New York State Medicaid program by preventing and detecting fraudulent, abusive, and wasteful practices within the Medicaid program and recovering improperly expended Medicaid funds while promoting high-quality patient care.
